lizzie_dripping

Can I join you?

Lost 10 pounds in April, have managed to keep it off but standards have slipped from being away on holiday!!

Have many pounds to lose but 7 would be a nice start.

Good luck to you as well Barneysmom , are you going to try and weigh in at somewhere like Boots? or are you basing your weight loss on fitting in a smaller size?

Hmm cutting down the sugar in the tea and maybe smaller amounts of chocolate? A Cadbury's finger of fudge or something so you still get a mini choc hit but not so large a hit!

Yes, I need to lose a couple of inches off my waist, I think if I got scales again I'd get really OTT and be weighing myself every five minutes
I haven't had choc today, just a digestive biscuit.
I do my own mix of breakfast cereals, using Quaker Granola, Morrison's own Muesli, and Bran Flakes.
I mix them all together in a big tub and have a portion - it seems to keep me going for longer, and the raisins give me my sugar fix.

I prefer to have a slightly larger breakfast as I find I don't pick as much during the day.
I'm generally a grazer though, I'll eat little tiny bits every few hours rather than a big meal.

Based on what I've been reading this year, so long as the daily calorie count and nutrition is in the right place, this is the ideal way to keep control of appetitie. Food taken little and often, keeps blood sugar level steady and hunger at bay.

I'm in again with a starting weight of 12.7

I successfully gave up sweets and alcohol for at least a couple of weeks in June but alas didn't stay the course. I have no excuses coming up, no special days or holidays or anything, so I'm going to stick with it in July. I can already feel the difference with just the few lbs gone.

I'm also walking about an hour a day faithfully (and fast!) and will be back going to the gym 3 times a week

Good luck everyone!

Hello to everyone. ok i weighed my self at the gym today and my starting weight for this month is 15st 2lbs and hopefully if losing 7lbs will take it down to 14st 9lbs. That would be lovely.
Hope everyone is managing ok. i started off with an apple for breakfast, and a chicken salad roll for lunch. so my month is starting off just fine. Let's hope i can keep it up.
Wow well done lizzie dripping a staggering 10lbs that's brilliant. :j
Good luck to everyone else.
